Blog Tour & Book Giveaway: Persuasion by Rebecca H. Jamison


2012 Winter Books & Things, Pg. 28
Order from a local Independent LDS Bookstore 
Stores are listed on the right of the blog

About the Book:  When Anne broke off her engagement seven years ago, she thought she’d never see Neil Wentworth again. But when Neil’s brother buys the house she grew up in, it seems fate has other plans in store, and Anne is woefully unprepared for the roller coaster of emotions that accompanies Neil’s return. Fans of Persuasion will love this fast-paced, modern retelling of Jane Austen’s most romantic novel.

About the Author:   I'm a stay-at-home mom with a passion for writing novels, running, and dancing.   I'm a mom to five boys, so I know how to pronounce a lot of dinosaur names and how to clean up legos.  I also have one wonderful daughter.  I met my husband on a blind date.  Before I had kids, I worked as an English teacher. I plan to go back to teaching once my kids are older.  I have a BA and MA in English from BYU.  I love to swim, make jewelry, and play in water.   I like teenagers. Summer is my favorite season of the year because I can eat watermelon and hang at the pool.  I grew up in Vienna, Virginia.  Now I live in Utah.  I'm a city girl. The country's okay, as long as I don't have to smell manure.  I served a mission to Portugal and the Cape Verde Islands.  I write novels for fun. 

Kay's Kritique:  I really enjoyed Persuasion by Rebercca H. Jamison, especially because the setting takes place in my neck of the woods, in the East, and part of the story also takes you to one of my favorite places - the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  It was so easy to picture the drive there as I have taken it so many times myself.  Rebecca's Latter Day Tale kept me engaged and was a very enjoyable read for a lazy afternoon.  A fun read to add to your list of good books to curl up with.

Giveaway Details:

I'm giving away 1 Copy of Persuasion, if the winner lives in the US/Canada or if an International winner they will receive an eBook copy.
